Please who is coming to Thompson Rivers university this winter?

AlFath:








Thank you for your responses.

Presently, I don’t have any family in Canada and for the home ties; I used my spouse and children. I included their birth certificates in my application.

I’m the (Imam) leader in a community mosque and also the youth leader in an organization. I mentioned all these in my SOP. Besides, I have a property in Lagos and one other property owned by my mum.

For employment, I’m presently working in a private organization and I have a school in Lagos. I included the CAC certificate as evidence and all other documents such as; tax clearance certificates, land use charges, etc. for all the properties mentioned.

Thank you so much.

To be honest you had everything covered. This is just one of the mysteries of the immigration system

AlFath:
Good afternoon everyone,

I have been delayed by the VO.
I applied to Mount Saint Vincent University to study Master of Art In Child & Youth Study for Winter 2020.

Applied on 10th of October
Did Biometrics on 14th of October
Biometrics Completed on 15th of October
Received validity of biometric information yesterday 6th of October
Refusal dropped today.

Please the gurus in the house in the person of;
Frankrobbn1, NaijaForeigner, JustMellow, Qudkom, and others not mentioned, kindly advise me.

Hi sorry about your refusal to begin with you'll need to state;
1. What you currently do in terms of employment.
2. What are the documents you submitted to verify your family ties.

P.s: Don't be too hard on yourself lately I have seen some gutting decisions by the VOs and it's just hard to understand. You can imagine a guy that works for his father (proof of employment, 2 company account, tax receipts, license etc) getting refused on employment bases... And also home ties even with the fact that he's got a sibling fully settled in Canada.

Good morning house,
i applied on 27th sept via paper route and submitted my passport along side. along the line i linked it online. got rejected on oct 25th. now i hv prepared the necessary document to reapply and want to reapply. pls can i reapply without my passport via paper route again cus it hasnt been retured yet or do i apply via online route

You need your passport to apply via paper route. You can use the online route instead, that doesn't require you submitting a passport.

Onweke:
Please I applied for a post graduate program and received acceptance letter from college of North Atlantic for fall 2020. I want to know the next step and the required documents to submit for an interview. Should I apply via lagos or abuja office ? Please I need your urgent advice and guideline on how not to be rejected.

Canada rarely offer interviews only on rare cases to make some conformations and all. You can read through the thread to get an idea of what you need to get together from Sponsor documents, fianance documents, SOP and Education documents.

Mudicua:
@Frankrobbn1, I just wanna holler at you!
Thank you for all you do on this platform... You de try wella.

May God bless you and may the universe be kind to you always!!

And to @Qudkom, @Austacus, @naijaforeigner @justmellow, @makano, i doff my hat for you guys for being very consistent here.

And to others I did not mention, thank you for helping in one way or the other.

Best wishes!!

Thanks for the compliment

chucs:
Goodmorning everyone. Please pardon me if my question may seem like i'm drawing anyone backwards. It is as a result of how urgent I needed the information.

Please I want to know if a family friend can sponsor me for a Canadian study program? He lives in Uk and he is a citizen.

I also want to know if he can sponsor two persons at ones.
I will really be glad to get a favourable reply.

3rd party sponsor that isn't related to you isn't suitable especially with the fact that the individual will technically sponsor 2 applicants. Non the less of you choose to carry on with it you'll need to;
1. Ensure you can proof the sponsor as helped you in the past

2. Account for Sponsors dependents

3. Nature of sponsors job and earnings in reference to your study program cost etc...

Doyindre:
Please, if you get a correspondence letter before medical request. What does that implies?

With recent trends it is most likely a refusal.

The recent federal election in Canada saw a Liberal minority government elected to power. This is great news of aspiring immigrants and it means the Liberals will continue to have an open borders policy in order to acquire skilled immigrants to be a part of Canadian society.


Here is a highlight of what to expect in this term:

1) Immigration Targets will rise:
A rise in the targets usually implies a decrease in eligibility criteria. However, in the past this has not been the case. When the Liberals declared an increase in the immigration numbers in late 2017, there was a corresponding increase in number of applicants and thus an increase in minimum requirements.

2) More Provincial Nomination Programs will be launched
Due to the success of previous PNP programs, the Liberal government will encourage provinces to play a bigger role in selecting immigrants.

3) More Government funding for settling immigrants
The Liberal government has always been committed to helping new immigrants get settled. This term will most likely see an increasing in budget for settlement of new immigrants in order to help them get jobs and start their new life in Canada.

4) Easier to become a Canadian citizen
The Government has long indicated a need to reduce application fees for citizenship. Thus once you become a permanent resident of Canada, it will consequently become easier to be a citizen for you and your family.

IboBoyNuel:



Okay. Thanks. So you advice i apply for a graduate certificate for September?

Also, please do i have more to gain when i apply for a 2 years program?

Yes you gain 3yrs PGWP(Post graduate Work Permit). Going for a 1yr work permit will give you 1yr PGWP

IboBoyNuel:
Good evening All. Thanks to All who contribute positively to the thread. God bless you. Please i have questions.

I graduated from the FUTO with a 2.2 degree in Agricultural economics. I'm looking to do a PGD in project management before i do masters.

I want to ask, is it advisable i do 1 year pgd program? Because i want to apply for may session and it's only 1 year programs I'm seeing.

Thank you

There are 2yr post graduate courses. Word of advice project management is too basic and you'll most likely be flagged based on "Purpose of visit" (VO not seeing any logical reason for embarking on a program that could otherwise be done locally in Nigeria in the form of a degree or professional certificate) also try a Graduate Certificate program. Cheers

Alkidam:
Hello house. Its been 6 days i got my biometric, and am yet to receive any letter, i hope all is well. At least they should have so i can go collect my passport. I have other things to do with the passport.

Did you get any medical request?

Marshall008:
Hello, I Just found this thread, Please I will like to ask what's obtainable.

Is it possible to go for MSc in Canada with a wife accompanying? If Yes, how do I go about it?

Otherwise, if there is another method of processing it, I'll appreciate it.

Thanks.

First and foremost msc depends on your cgpa from your last degree. Also getting your wife to Canada can be done while applying or better still get to Canada, settle in and apply for an open work permit. I'll advice you get a job first, enrollment proof, letter from your landlord in Canada, proof of relationship then you can apply.

bosslady126:


ThANK YOU for your reply bro, I really appreciate it

But the thing is that I don't have a bsc degree I'm currently in HND level that's why I asked maybe i can use my ND result to apply for it it.


P.s I have a good grade..

I don't think you can do that.

bosslady126:
PLEASE HELP!!

I want to apply for Ontario Graduate Certificate which is one year program.
It was stated on their website that before you can apply for it you must have completed an Ontario diploma (which is two years), advanced diploma, or degree or equivalent.

My question now is can I apply to it with my nigeria ND? Since it's a diploma
Please help....

Don't worry yourself if you have a bsc degree go ahead and apply. A graduate certificate is like the younger brother of MSc programs just that it is;
1. Streamlined
2. Affordable
3. You don't get to write projects
4. Lower requirements

P.s try and apply for a GC that offers Co-op terms

Anitaamich:
Hi everyone, I’m applying to study and I have some questions please
1. I finished school since 2015 and I haven’t been working since then, how do I explain the study gap and will it hinder my chances of getting study permit.

2. I have bsc microbiology with 2.2, so I want to go for PGD/C. Which courses can I go for? Something related to microbiology, I have done some research and have been able to get food science or occupational health and safety, which one is good between the 2 as regards Canada. I’m open to more options.

3. I want to go with my 12months old daughter, do I need to register her in a daycare before applying, or should I apply alone first, get the visa and then apply for her before leaving. I can’t leave her behind please

I would appreciate y’all answers and contributions. Thank you!!!

Hello;
1. You definitely need to account for all activities since you graduated from university.
2. You can always apply for a graduate certificate program nothing less in order to avoid issues relating to purpose of visit.
3. Once you figure out the province you're going and get an admission letter you can always look for the nearest daycare to enroll your child.

P.s: don't apply for any kind of certificate for the purpose of "entering Canada" it's important to apply for a program that shows progression in your studies and career.

PLEASE IS THERE ANY CANADIAN UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE THAT ACCEPT SCHOOL FEES ON ARRIVAL?[color=#770077][/color][b][/b]

There are schools that allow you pay a deposit and balance just before registering for class for the semester

Rennie97:


Thanks so much for your reply I just completed my nysc and I'm currently unemployed what is the way forward now??

Oh, means you didn't include any proof of employment. I'm sorry but applying so soon won't justify anything. It's unrealistic to claim you have a job all of a sudden unless you wanna proof you omitted it but that also depends in what you stated on your sop...

Rennie97:

Hi everyone I got this reason for my denial please can anyone help out

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the limited employment prospects in your country of residence.

You probably didn't show enough proof to confirm your employment or show enough proof in your study plan about the job prospect of your current field in the country.

nayo10:
Pls someone should help me explain this family ties in this Canada visa refusal

Family ties is a broad refusal clause; the visa officer wants to ascertain that you have family ties in Canada and/or in Nigeria. Which means showing proof of;
1. Relationship status(Married with proof)
2. Brief documentation of family involvement In Nigeria
3. Family pictures can also be used to back up claims
4. If your parents are sponsoring try and attach their property documents
5. Family involvements in Voluntary services/ religious involvements etc...
All this are just some of the things that can back up your family ties.

Goodbloke:
Good afternoon, I intend sponsoring myself abroad and have been working and hustling towards it.

Will this be acceptable because I have no sponsor ?

Yes you can but you have to put so many things in consideration;
1. Relationship Status
2. Current job and prospects
3. Investment portfolio

If you answer positively to this questions then you can.

P.s: IF YOU'RE MARRIED OR HAVE AGED PARENTS THEN THE DEPENDENCY RATE INCREASES AND AFFECTS THE WAY THE VISA OFFICER VIEWS YOUR APPLICATION

nicerichard05:


These other countries you mentioned require IELTS, or do u hav any university there that doesnt require it. Tnx

No I don't

harveygordon:


Answers:

1. Yes, 2,1 in biochemistry
2. 3.85/5 scale
3. Yes,
4. I ordered it but nothing much was stated - can send it to you
5. Clocked 26 few days ago

So why aren't you looking at the light of a POST GRADUATE PROGRAM. That would have done well for you in the first place. Your cgpa is perfect for one

harveygordon:
Hello everyone,

I applied for BSc and got denied for TRV twice this year (May and July precisely).

I don't know if applying for MSc would raise eyebrow as I initially applied for BSc in order to get TRV.

Can someone help with this?

To begin with;
1. Do you have a previous BSc. Certificate?
2. If yes, was it a high CGPA?
3. I'm pretty sure one of the refusal reasons was based on 'Purpose of visit"- did you order gcms note?
4. The chances of getting a trv for Canada for a bsc with age, previous degree in consideration is very low

olajigaolamide:
CiC processing time has changed to 8 weeks. My application is now 12 weeks and no reply yet

Send a webform through their website stating your application as elapsed the processing time.

WalterC007:
Pls house, how do i apply for gcm note... I was denied study visa today

There are many gcms sites. Just enter "gcms note" on Google.

bennyg24:
Good day nairaland family,
Application refused for the second time
submitted: September 18 (with upfront medical)
BVL: October 16
Refusal: October 16
Reasons for refusal
Family ties in Canada and country of residence
Limited personal assets and financial status
I got admitted to MEng civil engineering for winter 2020 at university of Windsor, had my BEng in civil engineering in 2015
three years experience plus a registered business of six months old,
I paid tuition deposit of 4000CAD
sponsor had 37kCAD plus extra in account to care for tuition(total tuition is 30kCAD)
I had 10kCAD plus 1.1m in personal account for living expenses and flight itinerary all well explained in SOP/LOE but still got refused,
note: first refusal was on insufficient funds to pay tuition, maintain myself and transport fare,
second refusal now family ties and limited assets
home ties:my functioning business,land, parents/siblings and future employment prospects
Family and siblings all employed in Nigeria

I wish all TRV hopefuls speedy approval and thanks to all those here using their time, knowledge and experience to assist others.
As for me I am out of this Canada game, let my use my hard earned cash to boost my company here and will thus visit other countries on my vacations instead of dashing those wicked VO's 150CAD per application.

Sorry to hear bro. Why don't you try Germany or New Zealand and use it as a springboard for Canada

beulah2525:
Hello everyone. Youre all doing a great job. Pls i want to know if i can apply for Canada student with with my family at thesame time and how to go about it. Thanks for your help. posting for the first time.

Why not apply for yourself first and then help your spouse get s visiting visa which can then be converted to an open work Permit. You'll need proof of enrollment, study permit and money($10k for your spouse and $5k for each accompanying child)

Frankrobbn1 happy birthday Bro, I wish you many more years in good health and happiness. everyone appreciates your continuous contributions to this forum.

Glasses1:
Hello house... I'm new here... Got admission to Seneca College and would like to have proper guidiance as I was denied Australia visa in Jan and dont want to make same mistake...
1. I intend paying my fees soon (1st semester fee requested by school), Whats the best way to go about the payment, is there a way to pay and save cost of international transfer.

2. What are the things I need to have in mind to make the visa process a smooth one?

PS: Its never easy to start reading this thread from scratch, i'll be reading actively from this post, pls help answer. Cheers!

I wish your question could be answered in one sentence but that won't be possible. Non the less every applicant is unique and it's important to have your financial portfolio in check, sponsor, SOP, ensure your program correlates with previous education credential and work experience etc...

opeey:
those anyone here know a good piloting school in canada,.
some schools I read about online through comments on google map rating are not encouraging, like paying for flight course and not getting what you played for and only after the money your money as an international student.

Contact @yacha77 he can guide you on reputable flight schools.
